Testimonials

"SMST (substance misuse support team) began in April 2016; at first the thought of being 'monitored' monthly was terrifying, however, with Jo's support these monthly meetings have enabled SMST to review and streamline data collection processes, have informed me (and the team) of areas for improvement, and have ensured that as a service we are constantly reviewing our practice.
Jo (who is not at all scary) has supported me in my new role as team leader, with suggestions and encouragement on service matters.
One year in, and with the support of Jo (& 3SC) SMST is delivering interventions that meet the needs of our service users, have a team that are invested in it's success, and are delivering

Emma Burree - Team Leader, Society of St James

"The Society of St James has been working with 3SC for a couple of years now.
I have found the support and guidance from Jo Rowe invaluable as to providing structure and advice in the collation and recording of information.
This in turn has helped me immensely in fine tuning our service and to be able to see at a glance where our strengths and weaknesses lie.
Thanks to advice given, I have been able to improve the monitoring of my teams and implement positive changes in areas such as support planning and risk assessments.
I also feel that this partnership experience has improved my professional capacity as a manager and feel more confident in leading a team and providing a quality service to our clients

Mark Gray - Team Leader, Society of St James

"Hampshire Cultural Trust are a relatively new 'delivery organisation' and working with 3SC has really embedded good practice and robust systems. Jo Rowe has been very supportive and set out clear expectations during the due diligence, contract negotiations and on-going monitoring. She has really helped us to make sense of the hefty monthly contract performance reviews. Thanks to 3SC we feel we are well supported to deliver a clear and realistic programme.

"We are delighted to be working with 3SC. They have been supportive and demonstrated clearly what we need to do, and have helped us with this.
They are focused on quality performance and I hope our working relationship can become even closer providing mutual benefit, and enabling more blind and partially sighted people to obtain and retain employment.
